Designed to accompany the Little Critter eBook called "The Trip" this "GamePak" is a set of 50 workbook and flashcard style activities based on the story. There are some innovative features sprinkled into some very typical activities including a jigsaw puzzle and dot-to-dot puzzles. At the core of the app: a concept called Digistix—interactive, animated stickers with sound effects. In one screen, children can place a set of digistix around a scene from the story, where they perform context sensitive animated routines. This is a nice touch although it is not possible to pick them up and move them around once they are placed. Both apps were produced by John R. Sansevere. The Trip – Little Critter Reading Adventure and The Trip – Little Critter GamePak are now available in iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Google Play.
